Trump: US had 'spectacular military success' in Iran, stopped nuclear threat
President Donald Trump on Sunday praised what he called a 'spectacular military success' in Iran, claiming US forces prevented the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump said, 'We had a spectacular military success yesterday, taking the 'bomb' right out of their hands (and they would use it if they could!).' He described the mission as a 'total and complete WIN' and thanked the US military for their efforts: 'Thank you to our incredible military for the AMAZING job they did last night. It was really SPECIAL!!!'
Trump claimed the strike neutralized a direct nuclear threat posed by Iran. 'Iran has killed and maimed thousands of Americans, and even took over the American Embassy in Tehran under the Carter Administration,' he wrote, adding, 'They would use [a bomb] if they could.'
Earlier on Sunday, US President Donald Trump confirmed that American forces carried out what he described as a "very successful attack" on three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. In a post on his Truth Social platform, President Trump revealed that a 'full payload of BOMBS' had been dropped on the underground Fordo site, one of Iran's most fortified nuclear facilities.
'All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors,' Trump wrote, calling the operation a 'historic' moment for the United States, 'Israel,' and the world. He later declared in a televised address from the White House that 'IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR.'
The strikes came just two days after Trump had signaled a possible two-week window for diplomacy. His sudden change in course has further destabilized the region and raised fears of a broader conflict in the Gulf.

Macron warns against 'uncontrolled escalation' in Middle East
French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday warned against an "uncontrolled escalation" in the Middle East after the United States joined 'Israel's' campaign against Tehran's atomic programme by bombing Iranian nuclear sites. "No strictly military response can produce the desired effects," Macron told a defence council meeting in Paris. "The resumption of diplomatic and technical discussions is the only way to achieve the goal we all seek, which is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons," he added. The French leader however did not directly condemn the unprecedented US intervention. After a scheduled visit to Norway on Monday, Macron is on Tuesday due to go to the Netherlands for a NATO summit which US President Donald Trump is also set to attend. In a joint statement with his German and British counterparts, Macron called on Iran "not to take any further action that could destabilise the region" in response to the strikes. Earlier the French leader had urged Tehran to de-escalate and "exercise the utmost restraint" after the strikes in a call with his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian. He said he also told Iran to "renounce nuclear weapons", warning of "the risk of the worst for the entire region".

US warns Iran: Attacks on Americans will face devastating response
United States envoy to the United Nations Security Council, Dorothy Shea, affirmed that recent US military strikes against facilities inside Iran were intended to "undermine Iran's nuclear capabilities." She emphasized that Washington will not hesitate to protect its citizens and military bases in the region. The US envoy warned that any direct or indirect Iranian attack on American interests, whether targeting personnel, civilians, or bases, 'will be met with a devastating response.' Speaking during an emergency Security Council session, she stated, 'The time has come to decisively defend our ally, our citizens, and our interests,' signaling full US support for 'Israel' amid escalating tensions between Tehran and Jerusalem. These remarks follow recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which analysts describe as an unprecedented escalation that could push the region toward open conflict.
